Copy of the letter to Chief Grijalva distributed. There is a possibility of meeting with the SFM at the Elk Grove meeting.

Discussion of the decisions regarding format and content of the "blended" document.
Dan mentioned that we need to have this discussion several more times depending on the audience to be sure everyone knows what we are planning and to dispel any misconceptions that may occur.

Assignments: Dan will draft a matrix showing which chapters will be adopted by the State as part of Title 24 and which chapters are being proposed to be part of Title 19. This is to be distributed to the committee members so chapter assignments can be made. Everyone is encouraged to pick a chapter they feel they have expertise or even an interest in. It was hoped that with the SFM’s buy in on this project that they would also offer staff support on selected items such as Fireworks, Explosives.

Action Item Plan to be distributed to the committee by Elk Grove Meeting

F11 and F12. Dan spoke to Jakki McLean, proponent representing Washington State Fire Protection Bureau regarding their plan on challenging these disapproved items. She indicated they have no plans "this time around." The follow-up was beneficial as contact with this association was made and the offer to continue to share information was also made.

F-33 Update. Dan to contact Bill prior to the Elk Grove General Membership meeting to see if there is any update to this item.

Fire Protection and Equipment & Systems submittals. No discussion was had on this subject. Tabled until the General Membership Meeting.

The petition letter was distributed to the committee members. This item has more impact on the Building Standards Committee so because of time constraints discussion was limited.

Dan was not at the meeting during this discussion, so there are no meeting minutes on this item. If Rocque wants to add something here, have at it!

Recruitment of committee members. Dan to draft a recruitment letter by the Elk Grove meeting and distribute to the current committee members. Each member is encouraged to identify the names on the list sent out by Rocque they know personally to encourage participation. Each member will format the recruitment letter for the people they contact and send the letter with a copy to Rocque or Dan. If interest is encountered and a desire to join the committee seen, Rocque or Dan will generate a letter to the employee’s chief.
